I have just completed my HOP (Hour of power certification )I am so excited to be bringing these classes to Lincolnshire starting after the summer holiday period .

What is the Hour of Power (HOP)?

Imagine a fitness class that allowed you to develop the mental focus of a yoga master, the core muscle conditioning of a gymnast, the high-energy & fat-burning capability of an elite cyclist, and yet the full-body muscle development of a gym athlete. Imagine achieving those results through a single studio fitness class that has been tried and tested for over 30years, breaking records and changing lives for tens of thousands of ordinary people from every walk of life… you are imagining HOP®https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XvYeqM-XYk

Tree Pose

Great for feeling more alert, secure, and stable.

When it is blocked or out of balance, you can become needy, have low self-esteem, or have self-destructive behaviours. When in balance, you feel strong and confident; you can stand up on your own two feet and take care of yourself.

Boat Pose

Great for fostering personal power, change. You’ve heard the expression “firing on all cylinders.” When this chakra is in balance, you feel alive and have the self-esteem and confidence to take action and be productive. When it’s blocked, you lack courage, have low self-esteem, and feel stagnant and inert. By working on this chakra, you can awaken your true personal inner power and work through your fear of taking risks.

Camel PoseGreat for being more joyful, loving, and empathetic. Awaken to the power of unconditional love within you through compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance. When the heart chakra is blocked, you become possessive and codependent, and may form dysfunctional relationships. You may also stay isolated for fear of rejection. When you stimulate this chakra, you can heal past wounds by reopening your heart, learn to love unconditionally, and form healthy relationships.

Emotional issues: Communication, self-expression of feelings and the truth.

Supported Shoulderstand

Great for becoming more outspoken, finding your voice. When this chakra is blocked, you may feel like you can’t find your voice or your truth. You may also be overly talkative and not listen to others. When this chakra is open and stimulated, your voice moves through space to help you communicate your emotions in healthy ways. You also become better at listening to others and honoring their personal truths without judgment.

Emotional issues: Intuition, imagination, wisdom and the ability to think and make decisions.

Easy Pose

Great for learning new things, trusting your instincts. This chakra is associated with your intuition, or sixth sense, and governs how the rest of the chakras function. When it’s functioning well, you have insight, and you trust your inner wisdom to face life’s challenges and choices. When it’s blocked, you feel close-minded, too attached to logic, untrusting, and cynical. Working on the sixth chakra opens your mind to the bigger picture and different perspectives, and it helps you receive the wisdom that cannot be seen or heard by ordinary senses

Corpse Pose (Savasana)

Lifting your mood , detaching from ego. The crown chakra connects to beauty itself and the spiritual realm. It helps you to understand who you are beyond your physical self—that you are a spiritual being having a human experience. It is not located in the body but actually hovers above the crown of the head. When it’s closed, you think happiness can only come from the outside, and you suffer. Working on this chakra helps you to feel free in any situation
